Is a fine addition to any mans wardrobe, but I've just seen a guy in the office wearing one tucked into his trousers.....what in the name of all things Holy are you thinking?? This isnt some new trend I've missed out on surely, it looks absurd.

You mean a tank top?

Surely a sartorial faux pas regardless of whether it's tucked into the trousers?

While I agree with the analysis that his tank-top-tucking was ill advised, I will draw your attention to a 60yr old Italian Financial Director of mine. He wore, to describe, the most extreme clothes you could imagine; bright orange trousers, tight polo shirts, bright coloured shoes. On a 60yr old. However, whatever he wore was perfectly cut, and he had an aura of sophistication and class that meant, no matter how ridiculous the outfit, it still looked superb and, dare I say it, "cool".

The git.

The key word there is "Italian" - they usually dress in a well-cut manner and at any age look "cool" whatever they wear as it's all well fitted and well tailored - or they look like a big fat mafia-wannabe.

Good point - there are some people who look good pretty much regardless of what they wear, the guy in the OP isnt one, trust me.

Reminds me of that BBC Bargain Hunt presenter - Tim W-something.
Used to wear daft coloured spectacles (almost lady-like ones)...
